Qin Song walked over slowly, looked at the poor old man who was old, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You will understand what you have experienced, and you will also understand what the Holy Spirit regards people and things." ”

Mardelan raised his head, stared at Qin Song with horror, and trembled his lips: "You...... Don't say it!

What the Holy Spirit did in his dreams, and his disdain for mortals, had a huge psychological impact on Maldrán, and the power of the Holy Spirit disappeared without a trace, and he knew in his heart that everything in the dream was true or false.

It's just that deep down, there is still a last trace of struggle.

In fact, this old man was not a bad person, nor did he oppress the common people or slaves, but he lived in the church as an adult, studied the scriptures and classics, and did not understand many social conditions.

The collapse of faith is very cruel, especially the Lord, who has always been firmly established by him, completely denies his existence and the non-existent kingdom of heaven.

"Leah, I think this old man needs to stay in the Blackstone Collar for two days. As hosts, this is our due gift. ”

Qin Song didn't take advantage of his illness and asked him to die, mainly because this cardinal was still useful.

The faces of the people present were full of worship and surprise, and Qin Song's bearing and open-mindedness were far superior to those stubborn believers in the Holy Spirit.

Convince people with virtue!

......

"I made it! I succeeded!"

The merchant city of Arabe, the manor where the elves bought. In the renovated bakery, light smoke was lit, and Iruli had a turban around her head and an apron around her waist, and she took a plate of black bread from the oven.

Gently pinched with her hand, it was very soft, Iruli carefully broke off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it beautifully, in addition to the soft taste, there was also a sweet and sour taste.

Although the bread is made of barley, which is not cleanly sifted, mixed with a lot of bran and wheat bran, and some of the sand grains mixed with the rough stone grinding, the taste is a little poor, but it is much more perfect than the hard black bread.

In fact, the bread that Eruli came out of was a bit similar to the popular baguette of later generations, with only flour, water and yeast, and it was far less fluffy than traditional soft bread. However, compared to the original black and hard bread, it has a relatively fluffy texture and can be eaten without blisters.

In order to make the grape yeast stock solution, Iruli has been living in seclusion for the past few days, and has been shrinking into the room to ferment the original solution. Because the craftsmanship is too trendy, it has led to several brewing failures, and it is sour and smelly.

And her behavior has also been warned many times by her eldest sister Esrena.

There is no way, Iluri's yeast experiment requires the use of an extremely precious ingredient - honey. Although the amount needed is small, the price of honey is simply too expensive.

Eruli's behavior also caused dissatisfaction among most of the sisters.

But there is no way, this guy has a strange personality, everyone can only dissuade her from knocking on the side, and no one dares to directly talk to her......

Perhaps, the only thing that is consoling to everyone is that Iruli has a lot less words.

"Flower basket, flower basket of elven craft!"

In the corner of the bustling shopping street, there is a bunch of exquisite flower baskets woven from branches with flowers, and all kinds of flowers are inserted in them, exuding bursts of fragrance.

I have to say that the shape and style of these flower baskets are very chic, and the craftsmanship is also very exquisite.

But - sales are not good.

From the beginning, the elves were mispositioned to market the market, and the merchants who traveled to and from the southern business districts were mostly hikers, preferring to buy more practical goods that could withstand long distances - such as ready-to-wear, silverware, jewelry necklaces, or ironware.

These baskets are indeed beautiful, but the flowers will always wither and have little practical value

Although the selling price is only one or two copper plates, only three flower baskets have been sold in the five days since it opened, and most of them are bought fresh by women who have lived in the business area for a long time.

One of the flower baskets, the broker Fox passed by, recognized the elves, bought one out of courtesy, turned the corner, and threw it in the corner.

No way, when it comes to doing business, these elves are completely rookies.

And, in order to weave these flower baskets, Eslena would take her sisters out of town every morning to the forest in search of young shoots and flowers. However, as winter approaches, the number of flowering and stripping plants is small, and it takes a whole day almost every time.

Then they gather in the evening to weave flower baskets, and while the flowers are still bright, they are sold on the street in the morning.

It's hard – but it doesn't make money.

During this period, Eslena still did not give up other ideas, and has been paying close attention to all kinds of goods in the shopping street, and indeed found several types of more lucrative businesses, such as weavers' exquisite cotton clothes, enamel utensils, etc., which are very popular with hiking merchants.

She also tried to learn these skills, but she underestimated the strict requirements of those practitioners for apprentices, and it was impossible to teach them without three or five years of serving the master.

The stupidest way is to pay a lot of money to hire a tailor or a craftsman......

But the cost is very high, not only do you not make money, but you also lose money.

In the evening, the three female elves returned to the manor with a sad brow on the courage of hanging a basket full of flowers. Today's voice is also not good, after a day of hard work, only a little girl passing by, shouting for her father to buy a flower basket.

A copper coin.

That's a day's income.

Not even a fingernail with salt is enough.

Rena, with several large bundles of fresh twigs and flowers, returned to the manor at a later date. Seeing the flower baskets in the courtyard, Esrena's mood became very bad.

All the while, she wanted to carry the responsibility of the whole family on her shoulders. As a pirate, she did, and with her miraculous archery skills, the Friendship Pirates were invincible, bartering their looted wealth to support her family and win the trust of her sisters.

But now, she suddenly felt very helpless.

Life in the city was too much for her to adapt to, and the archery skills she was proud of were not useful here. In the corner of the other side, the withered and yellowed flower basket was as bad as her mood.

With an indescribable depression, Eslena still stubbornly sent young branches and flowers into the room. After a short break, it's time to start weaving the baskets.

"Rena. ”

The witches all changed into civilian clothes, each holding a dagger and cutting branches. From the confidence when I first started knitting flower baskets, now I have become a lack of interest.

No one spoke, they were all silent and busy.

The atmosphere became very oppressive.

This made Eslena feel anxious, and she felt a little blamed in her heart, but she chose this path, she thought that she should stick to it, and had to take the initiative to provoke the topic: "Sisters, I heard that the commercial district in the north is adjacent to the aristocratic district. Most of the ladies and ladies there are locals, and they may like our flower baskets. ”

"North?" a slightly older female elf named Iliel stopped what she was doing and frowned slightly, "But it's too far away from here, and it will take you half a morning to get there." ”

"Everyone had to work harder. With a wry smile on her face, Eslena skillfully scraped off the branches with a dagger and bundled them together: "I have observed that because of the proximity to the port, the southern business district is mostly full of merchants on hikes and oceans. Our flower baskets, which are not very popular here. ”

"Rena, have you considered making weapons?" Another female elf was also a little tired of weaving flower baskets: "I heard that the Kurminsk Empire is divided and is now at war. Armor and weapons are very popular. ”

"I thought about it, but first, we didn't have a blacksmith, and second, with our funds, we couldn't open a blacksmith's shop, or buy enough steel. It's a good business, but it's not something we can do right now. ”

"What about the ointment?"

A female elf with purple and red hair raised her head: "We are very familiar with flowers and plants, especially some herbs that heal wounds. Can we make ointment? As long as there is war, the ointment will definitely come in handy. ”

"That's a good idea, but I've also observed. Eslena denied again: "This is not the Eternal Hope Forest, many of the herbs we are familiar with do not grow in the forest here. To make the ointment, it is too difficult. ”

Alas......

A soft sigh rang out.

Each of them knows that it is simply unrealistic to rely on flower baskets to feed their families. But they couldn't think of anything better.

"I don't know what happened to the Fractured Rock Islands. A female elf muttered softly, sounding like she missed life on the island.

"I'm afraid it's not good. The female elf beside her whispered: "During the day, when we went out of the city to pick branches and flowers, we listened to the discussion of the merchants who were about to enter the city, and heard that the pirates had blown up their nests and were cruising aimlessly on the sea, and even the navy of the principality was alarmed and tightened the patrol. ”

"Those horrible monsters. ”

"By the way, what about Iruli? I don't see her much in the past two days, I think it's weird? I always feel like there's no one else around. Iriel probingly looked at Esrena.

"She, I don't know what the hell she's doing?" Eslena looked a little headache: "Got a few gold coins from me, said she was going to do some big business, and let me remember the bet." ”

"Rena, you've indulged her a bit. Every gold coin is precious now. I heard little Joel say that Iluri went to buy extravagant honey. Oh my God, I can't think of any big business that would require honey. ”

"It's extravagant, it's too nonsense. The sisters around him chimed in.

"I understand. Eslena nodded: "Don't worry, I know it." The last time I told her, it was the last gold we could give. If she doesn't want to admit defeat, everyone will pretend not to know. Anyway, her character is like that, everyone should bear with it. ”
